Transform Value Chains
In The News
The challenge: Climate risk is expensive. The world’s largest companies report almost $1 trillion at risk from physical climate impacts and $250 billion in potential losses from stranded assets. Frequent, severe weather events increase risks to agriculture, energy and infrastructure. These disrupt supply chains and make it harder for goods to reach consumers, driving up prices and creating imbalances between supply and demand.
The opportunity: Global businesses stand to unlock $43 trillion in value over the next five decades by accelerating climate action and protecting their supply chains in the process. Leading companies know that including climate in enterprise business strategies increases agility, opens access to capital markets and increases brand value. And, with savvy suppliers competing in a changing climate, companies can send powerful demand signals across supply chains, fueling innovation and driving sector-wide action to reduce emissions.
How we collaborate: EDF’s Net Zero Action Accelerator enables high-impact companies to transition operations and supply chains. We engage deeply with influential companies representing over $1.8 trillion in revenue to catalyze action throughout supply chains and foster action on innovative solutions. EDF empowers suppliers by convening industry leaders, sharing best practices and providing tools to set clear priorities for reducing emissions.
